Giro d'Italia

This weekend is the start of Giro d’Italia and it starts here in Amsterdam. So yesterday a group of us went and watch the time trials. It was really cool. I’ve never been to a cycling race before, much less a professional one. I tried to take some pictures of the riders coming by, but my camera wasn’t cooperating. Here are some pictures of the starting gate.

They would call out the riders and where they were from, but it was all in Dutch, so we didn’t understand much. We just cheered for everyone. Here are some pictures of the guys warming up and the Astana bus.

I didn't get to see Contador, but the Tour d'France starts in Roterdam, so maybe I'll get a second chance.

And Mike, if you are reading this, maybe you can tell me who these guys are.  :)
